METHOD FOR PAGING USER TERMINAL IN CELL_PCH STATE AND DEVICE THEREFOR

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method and an apparatus for paging a user equipment in a Cell_PCH state, and relate to the field of communication technologies, so that when a UE in a Cell_PCH state is paged by a network, congestion of HS-SCCH resources is reduced and an access delay of the UE is decreased. The apparatus includes: an RNC, configured to instruct a NodeB to send data to a user equipment via an HS-PDSCH, where the user equipment is in a Cell_PCH state and has a dedicated H-RNTI; and a user equipment, configured to: when detecting that a specified number of HS-SCCH sub-frames do not carry a dedicated H-RNTI of the user equipment, blindly detect HS-PDSCH, or monitor HS-SCCHs and receive HS-PDSCHs concurrently, that is, receive data by using a Less and a non-Less manner concurrently. The embodiments of the present invention are mainly applied in a process where a network assigns physical channel resources to a user equipment dynamically.
